The 80 nail file

80 grit is a very rough grit. It is mainly used to file resin, gel or acrylic nail coverings. It is therefore used to file the surface of the nail to remove false nails or file the excess covering. Don’t try to outline the natural nail with this rough grain.

The 100 grain is also very rough but a little less than the 80. It is also used to file the overlaps at the time of the installation to make it smooth and perfect the shape of the nail.

This grain is moderately rough. It can be used to file the toenails and to make your covering more transparent. You can also use it to file the outline of your natural nails if they are thick, but it is rather advisable to use the 240 grit for natural nails.

240 nail file

240 grit is the finest grit. Ideal for filing the outline of your natural nails and for filing the top of the nail to finish an overlap. It will makes your covering more transparent and remove all traces left by the filing with thicker grains.
